\nA TALE OF VENICE<\/p>\n
There on an island that\u2019s perished as if never seen,<\/p>\n
Venice treads water, corrosive and salty and green,<\/p>\n
Swaying and drunk by a rhythm enchanting and slow,<\/p>\n
Greeting the incoming tide, and then watching it go.
\n <\/p>\n
Palaces looking as light as if rendered in glass,<\/p>\n
Water had entered them, trickling like time as it passed.<\/p>\n
What fills these ancient walls, what mysterious dreams<\/p>\n
Wait for a wave to arise from the slow saline streams.
\n <\/p>\n
I was right there, and a dome glistened gold just for me<\/p>\n
Over San Marco, the heat shimmered bright as the sea,<\/p>\n
Waterways blackened with gondolas, sharply reflected, <\/p>\n
Reason, as light as a raft, came unmoored, distracted.
\n <\/p>\n
Let me get swept up by love that is hopelessly doomed,<\/p>\n
Let me dive down headfirst into emerald gloom, <\/p>\n
Catch all the heartache, the passion, be lost and be brave, <\/p>\n
Perish, get carried away to a watery grave.
\n <\/p>\n
I wanted pledges of passion and tears in streams,<\/p>\n
And an unfounded faith in elaborate dreams.<\/p>\n
Let narrow pavements be filled with a great masquerade,<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be whatever we want, unrestrained, unafraid.
\n <\/p>\n
There in the feast I would spot a mysterious cloak<\/p>\n
Of Casanova\u2019s \u2014 so dandy, so bold and bespoke,<\/p>\n
Venice bequeathed me a glorious crown and mask. <\/p>\n
Sadly, this tale had to end, like all tales do, alas!
\n <\/p>\n
Here I am back in the rational, straight-laced New York<\/p>\n
Swaying, still drunk with delight, breathing wonder like smoke,<\/p>\n
While outside, in the streets filled with bustle, below,<\/p>\n
Venice\u2019s wide Grand Canal still appears to flow,
\n <\/p>\n
I try to blow on the water and temper my blood,<\/p>\n
Back in your safety, my solid New York neighbourhood,<\/p>\n
Though from your dizzying height you look down on us all,<\/p>\n
Know that a soul deep in love is a desperate soul.<\/p>\n
